I doubt that. Current TRD Pro is ~$55k. I expect the TRD Pro 4Runner to be probably ~$59ish, and the TrailHunter to be ~$65k.

Typically the TRD Off Road Premium package is the best bang for your buck as you get all the offroad gadgets without the fluff shite.

I have a 2021 model with the TRD OR-P trim level. I'm pretty confident that I'll hang on to this truck for a very long time so long as it doesn't get wrecked, stolen, or flooded. They are very sturdy and I don't really put very many miles on mine. Its' a drab color that doesn't stand out, and that's how I like it. The paint job isn't as nice or as pretty as the Lexus version, but I don't really care enough about that to spend the extra $20,000 or so for the GX460.

IMO the TRD Off Road Premium and the SR5 Premium were the best values in the lineup for people who want a nice, reliable, traditional SUV but don't mind not having the latest and greatest tech. Hopefully Toyota didn't screw those particular trim levels up by loading them with features that nobody really wants. Automatic headlights and a bigger screen with better graphics would be nice, but that's not really a must have. The turbo motor is definitely not something 4Runner owners were really begging for.

So far I like what I see, but Toyota can easily screw this up by pricing it incorrectly or ditching the Off Road-Premium trim level. They are already taking a step back by canceling the reliable old V6 and moving to an exclusively turbocharged 4 cylinder lineup. I do like the switch to the 8 speed transmission and the increased towing capacity though - but not enough to trade in my current 4Runner.

In 10 years when these new 4Runners have proven themselves, I'll probably trade my 2021 model for a 2034 model. And that's if I don't decide to get a stripped down pickup truck from the local GMC dealer instead.
